More than 30 years ago I begann my working life as an apprentice in cartography with
Orell Füssli in Zurich. The Swiss printing and bookselling Company was established in the 16th century and has printed some of our Swiss banknotes.

My apprenticeship as a cartographer was extremly interessting and instructive. There was
a lot of hand drawn techniques: ink drawings, engrave works or relief shading drawings.

Today digitalization is likely to gain the upper hand. Even though I'm no longer working
as a cartographer I'm still fascinated by maps.

From my apprenticeship-drawing-collection I've choosen some items for this
site.
